Detailing with Color and Floss by Missy Whidden

My Creative Scrapbook design team member Missy Whidden is up today with some really terrific color and floss detailing techniques featuring our January Creative Kit!

Here's Missy:

I just love these little wooden word bubbles in the Creative Kit! They're so easy to add color to so you can customize each one to match the colors in your pages. I used two on this page, and I colored them in different ways. I used a bottle of mist to color the green one and some acrylic paint to color the orange one.

Here's a little tutorial on a few different ways you can add color to them:

Another fun technique I have recently fallen in love with is adding the look of "messy thread" to my pages. And it's not really even thread...it's floss, which is a lot cheaper. I used it on these two pages.

I have so many colors of this $.35 a piece floss in a plastic container. Here's how I pull it apart to make it look like thread.

It's a fun way to add a little bit of color to your pages, and you can get any color imaginable!

Here are my final two pages using the Creative Kit. I just loved working with all these fun products!

I fell in love with scrapbooking when my son was born. The industry has changed a lot since then, but my love of scrapbooking has only continued to grow. Ten years ago my family started a small scrapbook business that has grown more than we could have ever imagined. We are so thankful for our customers and the joy they continue to bring into our lives.
